第二位作者梅加·马宗达 (Megha Majumdar) 辞去丰业银行吉勒奖评委职务，与迪诺·门格斯图 (Dinaw Mengestu) 一样因赞助商与以色列军火公司的关系而退出评委工作。 Second author Megha Majumdar resigns from Scotiabank Giller Prize jury, joining Dinaw Mengestu in withdrawing over sponsor's ties to Israeli arms company. 两位作家都退出了颁发10万美元奖金的评审团，只剩下三名加拿大评委。 Both authors left the panel that awards the $100,000 prize, leaving only three Canadian judges remaining. 两位作者的辞职是因为要求吉勒基金会与其主要赞助商加拿大丰业银行断绝关系的呼声越来越高，因为加拿大丰业银行对这家以色列武器制造商进行了投资。 The authors' resignations follow the growing demand for the Giller Foundation to break ties with Scotiabank, its lead sponsor, due to the bank's investment in the Israeli arms manufacturer.
